A sunny August morning took 2 goodgym-ers to Hervey Road Sports Field Gardens, a haven for wild flowers just off Shooters Hill Road.
We met Annie and were briefed with 2 straightforward tasks: weeding & watering. Some new plants had been put in last weekend so after a few dry days they were a little parched! 3 gentle waterings over the session hopefully revived them a little. The rest of our time was spent clearing weeds & grass from the beds to allow space both for existing wildflowers to grow, and new seeds to sprout, helpfully guided by expert Annie, so now we know our Feverfew from our Alison...!
The time flew by and we were ready for some final watering & on to the rest of the weekend. See you all soon! ☀️
This task supported
to clear weeds on the perimeters of the Sports Field where we have planted little trees and want to sow wildflower seeds
protect and promote biodiversity where at present brambles, thistles and tuffets of grass and alkanet proliferate
